1. An electrolytic cell comprising:

  • a containment vessel;

    a first electrode that comprises a separator;

    a second electrode;

    an electrolysis promoter retained on the surface of at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode;

    a source of electrical current in electrical communication with the first electrode and the second electrode;

    an electrolyte in fluid communication with the first electrode and the second electrode;

    a gas extraction area; and

    wherein the separator includes two inclined surfaces forming a “

    V”

    shape;

    wherein the separator directs flow of the electrolyte and a gas formed during electrolysis due to a difference between density of the electrolyte and the combined density of the electrolyte and the gas such that the gas substantially flows in a direction distal to the second electrode.
